    I’m so glad I made games as a hobby before I got anywhere close to graduating. Killed that dream real fast. It felt like shit having to play your own game so many times the game lost all meaning and it was hard to gauge if it was even fun anymore.

      I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.

        Oh I actually love programming. I just hated writing games it turned out lmao. I love front-end development especially.

          This. I started with 2d browser games. Turns out that was way too much work for me and landed in front end. I’m totally enjoying it now
